Developing Hair Education

I am always engaging in learning. It's part of who I am. The next training that I will (hopefully) be taking is the Davines Hair Colour Educator certification. It will be a couple weeks worth of education and will allow us to have the same skills as the hair colour educators so that we will have more tools to train our students once the school opens (we will be using predominantly Davines hair colour). Accessing brand education will be very helpful for us because of the extra educational materials that they will be able provide, including student printouts and teacher presentation documents. In addition, we will be using the Milady cosmetology textbook for the class. They are a large corporation that has it's own teacher training course. Likely we will have all future educators take their program in order to teach at the academy, so I will be facilitating that and learning a long with them. ©  Courtenay Girard. All rights reserved. 

All of my favourite and most memorable teachers have had the magical quality referenced in the video, from my high school English teacher who would break out into Shakespeare and my Chemistry teacher who would often begin class with some sort of explosion instead of a lecture.  It's the ability to engage a room full of people, as described by Christopher Emdin in this TED Talk. It's very interesting how little emphasis is placed on training these personality skills when they are so useful outside of the classroom. I think it's obvious how useful they would be in all classrooms. I don't consider myself to naturally possess exceptional skills in regards to captivating audiences, but this has caused reflection on what I can do to amplify myself. I am definitely encouraged by the fact that they can be learned and will definitely increase my efforts towards developing these skills. ©  Courtenay Girard. All rights reserved.
